NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained and other

by the parties hereto, Borrowers, Sponsor, Agent and Lenders do hereby agree as follows:
SECTION 1. (a) Section 1.01 of the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended,
effective as of the Effective Date, by the inclusion of the following definitions:
“KeyBank Credit Agreement” means (as an alternative definition), the KeyBank Revolving
Credit Facility.
“Payment Guaranty Shortfall Amount” means at any time that the amount of the
“Guaranteed Obligations” which may be the subject of the Limited Payment Guaranty is limited to the
Unutilized Sponsor Guaranty Capacity pursuant to Section 1(b) thereof, the excess, if any,
as of any date of determination, of (i) the amount of the “Guaranteed Obligations” which are then
the subject of the Limited Payment Guaranty, over (ii) the amount of the Unutilized Sponsor
Guaranty Capacity as of the then-most recent Testing Determination Date.
“Sponsor Guaranty Limitation” means the amount of the limitation of guarantees which
may be provided by Sponsor pursuant to Section 7.4(b) of the KeyBank Revolving Credit
Agreement (i.e., the reference to the excess of “2.5% of Total Asset Value in the aggregate”) or,
to the extent said Section 7.4(b) is modified or a corresponding provision is set forth in
a replacement credit agreement entered into, in either case in accordance with Section 6.16
hereof, any limitation on such amount.
“Unutilized Sponsor Guaranty Capacity” means, as of any date of determination, the
excess of (i) the Sponsor Guaranty Limitation over (ii) the then outstanding amount of the
guarantees of Sponsor (other than as provided in the Limited Payment Guaranty or otherwise in the
Financing Documents) which are applied in the computation of the Sponsor Guaranty Limitation, as
certified as of the then-most recent Testing Determination Date in a certificate delivered to Agent
pursuant to clause (h) of Section 5.01 hereof.
(b) Section 1.01 of the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended, effective as of
the Effective Date, by the deletion of the definitions of “Capital Repair Guaranty Amount”,
“Guaranty Collateral Amount”, “Property Leasing Guaranty Amount” and “Specified
Substitution Date”.
(c) (i) The defined term “Agreement”, as defined in the preamble to the Existing
Credit Agreement, pursuant to clause (e)(1) of Section 1.02 of the Existing Credit
Agreement shall mean the Agreement, as amended by this Amendment.

(d) Agent and Lenders hereby confirm that (i) they have received and waive the restrictions
set forth in Section 6.16 of the Credit Agreement as to Sponsor’s execution and delivery of
that certain First Amendment to Credit Agreement and Other Credit Documents dated as of November 8,
2006 amending the KeyBank Credit Agreement, (ii) such First Amendment to Credit Agreement and Other
Credit Documents is the KeyBank Guaranty Related Amendment and (iii) Borrower’s satisfaction of the
other conditions precedent set forth in clauses (i), (iii), and (v) through
(vii) of Section 2.22(b) of the Credit Agreement (noting, for purposes of
clarification, as amended by this Amendment), are being satisfied concurrently with the execution
and delivery of this Amendment.
2
SECTION 2. Section 2.22 of the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended, effective
as of the Effective Date, to provide as follows:
“SECTION 2.22. Substitution of Initial Limited Payment Guaranty.
(a) Without limiting Section 6.16 hereof, Borrowers shall use commercially
reasonable efforts (i) to cause KeyBank to amend the terms of (or to provide a waiver with
respect to) the KeyBank Revolving Credit Facility (a “KeyBank Guaranty Related
Amendment”) in a manner reasonably acceptable to Agent, which amendment or waiver shall
(y) expressly permit Sponsor to provide the guarantees set forth in the Initial Limited
Payment Guaranty with such modifications as may be acceptable to Agent and Lenders, by
executing and delivering the Substitute Limited Payment Guaranty, or (z) remove any
limitation on the Sponsor’s ability to provide the guarantees set forth in the Initial
Limited Payment Guaranty or modify such limitation in a manner reasonably satisfactory to
Agent and Lenders, and (ii) to otherwise satisfy the conditions set forth in Section
2.22(b) hereof, in each case, within one hundred eighty (180) days after the Effective
Date, so that the Initial Limited Payment Guaranty may be substituted with the Substitute
Limited Payment Guaranty in accordance with Section 2.22(b) hereof.
(b) Upon satisfaction of all of the following conditions precedent, the Initial Limited
Payment Guaranty shall be terminated in accordance with Section 2.22(c) hereof and
substituted with the Substitute Limited Payment Guaranty:
(i) Borrowers shall have delivered a copy of the KeyBank Guaranty Related
Amendment to Agent;
(ii) No Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
(iii) To the extent that any amounts are then due and payable under the Initial
Limited Payment Guaranty, such amounts shall have been paid in full;
(iv) Sponsor shall be in satisfaction of all of the Guarantor Financial
Covenants;
(v) Sponsor shall have executed and delivered to Agent a guaranty (the
“Substitute Limited Payment Guaranty”) in the form of the Initial Limited
Payment Guaranty, with such changes as Agent determines are reasonably necessary in
order to reflect the terms of the KeyBank Guaranty Related Amendment and the change
of the “Guarantor” thereunder from the REIT to Sponsor pursuant to which Sponsor
shall be liable for all of the “Guaranteed Obligations” thereunder to the same
extent as if Sponsor had entered into the Substitute Limited Payment Guaranty on the
Effective Date;
(vi) Agent shall have received a favorable customary written opinion (addressed
to Agent and the Lenders and dated as of the date of the Substitute Limited Payment
Guaranty) of counsel for the Sponsor, covering such
3
matters relating to Sponsor and the Substitute Limited Payment Guaranty as
Agent shall reasonably request, including a non-contravention opinion; and
(vii) Agent shall have received a certification by the secretary of the REIT
confirming that the resolutions adopted by the REIT’s Board of Directors authorizing
the Loans and the provision of various guarantees by the REIT and/or the Sponsor in
connection therewith has not been modified, rescinded or amended and remains in full
force and effect.
(c) Upon satisfaction of all of the conditions set forth in Section 2.22(b) to
terminate the Initial Limited Payment Guaranty, Agent and the REIT shall enter into an
agreement reasonably acceptable to Agent and the REIT to terminate the Initial Limited
Payment Guaranty and to release the REIT from all of its obligations under the Initial
Limited Payment Guaranty.
(d) Concurrently with the delivery by Borrower of a statement required to be delivered
pursuant to clause (h) of Section 5.01 hereof which shall evidence the
existence of a Payment Guaranty Shortfall Amount, Borrowers shall deliver to Agent for
deposit into the Guaranty Collateral Account cash in an amount, and/or deliver to Agent a
Guaranty Letter of Credit having an undrawn stated amount, which, when added to any amount
then on deposit in the Guaranty Collateral Account and the undrawn stated amount of any
Guaranty Letter of Credit then held by Agent, equals the Payment Guaranty Shortfall Amount
as of the applicable Testing Determination Date (the “Guaranty Collateral”).
(e) Following delivery of (i) any statement required to be delivered pursuant to
clause (h) of Section 5.01 hereof or (ii) at Borrower’s election which may
be exercised one (1) time during any calendar quarter in the event that there shall be a
decrease in the amount of the “Guaranteed Obligations” which are then the subject of the
Limited Payment Guaranty (resulting in a decrease in the Payment Guaranty Shortfall
Amount), a supplemental statement containing the information required to be delivered
pursuant to clause (h) of Section 5.01 hereof as of the date that such
decrease will occur, in each case that shall establish that the sum of the amount on deposit
in the Guaranty Collateral Account and the undrawn stated amount of any Guaranty Letter(s)
of Credit is greater than the Payment Guaranty Shortfall Amount, Agent shall promptly after
request by Borrowers (y) deliver to Borrowers funds on deposit in the Guaranty Collateral
Account (to the extent sufficient funds exist therein) and/or (z) permit Borrowers to reduce
any Guaranty Letter of Credit then held by Agent in an aggregate amount equal to such
excess, so long as, in each case, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing.
(f) Agent shall deposit all cash delivered to Agent pursuant to Section 2.22(d)
hereof for deposit in the Guaranty Collateral Account into an account or subaccount of Agent
or, at Agent’s election, a bank or other financial institution approved by Agent (the
“Guaranty Collateral Account”). Each Borrower hereby grants to Agent for itself and
on behalf of Lenders a security interest in all rights of such Borrower in and to the
Guaranty Collateral Account and all sums on deposit therein as additional security
4
for the Obligations. All sums deposited in the Guaranty Collateral Account shall be
released and applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If held by Agent, the
credit balance in the Guaranty Collateral Account may be commingled with the general funds
of Agent and shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is substantially similar to
interest rates offered by Agent to similarly situated Borrowers for comparable deposits held
in similar accounts. If not held by Agent, any such Borrower shall cause the bank or
financial institution at which the Guaranty Collateral Account is held to execute and
deliver to Agent an Account Agreement with respect to the Guaranty Collateral Account,
Borrowers shall pay all fees and costs with respect thereto and no Borrower shall close such
account without obtaining the prior consent of Agent. To the extent that any sums on
deposit in the Guaranty Collateral Account are held in a time deposit account and are
withdrawn from the Guaranty Collateral Account prior to the maturity of any time deposit,
whether at the direction of a Borrower or by Agent in connection with the exercise by Agent
of Agent’s rights and remedies hereunder, neither Agent nor Lenders shall be liable for any
interest forfeited or otherwise foregone by Borrowers as the result of such withdrawal. Any
income from such investments will be deposited to, and become a portion of, the Guaranty
Collateral Account. Agent shall have sole dominion and control over the Guaranty Collateral
Account.
(g) In addition to all other rights and remedies available to Agent and Lenders, upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Agent shall have the
right without notice to any Borrower or any other Person to apply the sums held in the
Guaranty Collateral Account and to make drawings under any Guaranty Letter of Credit for the
payment of any and all Obligations that are due and payable, with such amounts to be applied
as set forth in Section 2.16 hereof and otherwise in accordance with this Agreement.
Agent may also draw on any Guaranty Letter of Credit in the event that the issuer thereof
notifies Agent that such Guaranty Letter of Credit shall be not renewed, or shall be revoked
or otherwise terminated, in which event the proceeds thereof shall be deposited into the
Guaranty Collateral Account and held and applied in accordance with this Section
2.22. If (i) any Guaranty Letter of Credit expires or is revoked, unrenewed or
otherwise not in full force and Agent shall not have fully drawn the amount of such Guaranty
Letter of Credit prior to the date that it is no longer in effect, (ii) the issuer thereof
declares its inability to pay its debts on time, is the subject of any bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, receivership, dissolution or similar proceedings, is prohibited
by law or court order from doing business in the State of New York or the state of its
organization/incorporation or from otherwise performing its obligations under such Guaranty
Letter of Credit or other financial obligations, or has its credit rating downgraded below
its rating as of the date such Guaranty Letter of Credit is issued by S&P, Xxxxx’x, Fitch or
another financial services rating agency (or below a rating of “BBB+” (or the equivalent) by
S&P, Xxxxx’x or Fitch in the event the issuer is KeyBank) or (iii) the issuer thereof fails
to pay upon or otherwise refuses or is unable to honor Agent’s draft within the time period
set forth in such Guaranty Letter of Credit, Borrowers shall, within five (5) Business Days
after notice from Agent, deliver to Agent cash for deposit into the Guaranty Collateral
Account or a substitute Guaranty Letter of Credit, in each case, in the amount of the then
undrawn amount of such existing Guaranty Letter of Credit. If the outstanding principal
amount of the Loans, together with all Interest and other sums due and payable in connection
therewith and all other outstanding
5
Obligations then due or required to be performed, shall have been indefeasibly repaid
or performed, as applicable, by the Credit Parties in full, all of the Commitments have
expired or been terminated and all Lender Interest Rate Protection Agreements have been
terminated, then Agent shall return to Borrowers any sums then held in the Guaranty
Collateral Account or Guaranty Letter of Credit to the extent then in possession or control
of Agent.
(h) Other than as expressly set forth in this Section 2.22, Borrowers shall
have no right to receive a return of any sums then held in the Guaranty Collateral Account
or any Guaranty Letter of Credit.”
SECTION 3. Clause (h) of Section 5.01 of the Existing Credit Agreement is
hereby amended, effective as of the Effective Date, to provide as follows:
“Promptly after the preparation thereof, and no later than forty-five (45) days after the last
day of each calendar quarter, (i) computations of Borrowing Base Net Operating Income for each
Borrowing Base Property, (ii) computations of Debt Service Coverage Ratio as of the Testing
Determination Date occurring on the last day of such calendar quarter, (iii) a Borrowing Base
Certificate executed by an Authorized Officer of Borrowers (or the REIT) setting forth its
computation of the Borrowing Base Loan Amount of the Testing Determination Date occurring on the
last day of such calendar quarter, (iv) a Rent Roll, (v) a receivables aging report with respect to
each Borrowing Base Property setting forth all outstanding arrears, and (vi) as of each Testing
Determination Date following delivery of the Substitute Limited Payment Guaranty, a computation of
the Payment Guaranty Shortfall Amount (including the amount of the Sponsor Guaranty Limitation, the
Unutilized Sponsor Guaranty Capacity and the then outstanding amount of the guarantees of Sponsor
which are applied in the computation of the Sponsor Guaranty Limitation, including the components
of the calculation of such amounts and a schedule of such guarantees). Such items shall be
certified by an Authorized Officer of each Borrower except that in the case of any item delivered
pursuant to clause (vi) above, such item will be instead certified by an Authorized Officer
of Sponsor, as being true, correct and complete in all material respects;”
SECTION 4. Section 6.16 of the Existing Loan Agreement is hereby amended, effective as
of the Amendment Effective Date, by the addition of the following proviso at the end of the first
sentence thereof (beginning in the thirteenth line):
“; provided, further, no such renewal, refinancing, increase, amendment or
replacement would have the effect of decreasing the actual or potential Sponsor Guaranty
Limitation from that set forth in Section 7.4(b) of the KeyBank Revolving Credit
Agreement, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Credit Agreement and Other Credit
Documents dated as of November 8, 2006 amending the KeyBank Credit Agreement.”
SECTION 5. Clause (d) of Article VII of the Existing Credit Agreement is
hereby amended, effective as of the Amendment Effective Date, by the deletion of the phrase “(other
than Section 2.22(c) hereof)” and the insertion of the phrase “(other than Section
2.22(d) hereof)” in its place.
6
SECTION 6. Representations and Warranties.
(a) Each Borrower hereby remakes as of the date hereof all of the representations and
warranties set forth in the Existing Credit Agreement, as modified hereby, and the other Financing

required in connection with the execution and delivery by any
Borrower of this Amendment or to consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby have been obtained and are in full force and
effect;
(ii) This Amendment has been duly executed and delivered and

principles; and
(iii) All of the conditions set forth in Section 2.22(b)
of the Existing Credit Agreement have been satisfied as of the

(e) Any provision of this Amendment held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity,
illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the
remaining provisions hereof, and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular

NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF THAT WOULD CALL FOR THE

any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to
this Amendment, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or
proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law,
in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action
or proceeding which is no longer subject to appeal, shall be conclusive and may be enforced in
other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in

action or proceeding relating to this Amendment against any Credit Party or any of their respective
properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
8

CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT
OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD

AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AMENDMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS,
THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION (i).
(k) Article and Section headings used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not
